After Nergüi confronted Nevsky, the two discussed the Mongol Empire. Nevsky justified his alliance with them by claiming that it was the only way to protect {{Wiki\|Kievan Rus'}}.

As Qulan freed the young Assassin, he scolded him for his recklessnes, but also called him brave and honorable and told him that it was good to see him.<ref name="ACRef"/>

	Escaping the Khan's camp together, Nergüi, Qulan and Altaïr joined the latter's wife [[Maria Thorpe\|Maria]] and son [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad\|Darim]] on the hills above the camp, where they devised a plan to assassinate ~~the~~ Khan. The group loosed flaming [[arrow]]s at the camp to prompt the ~~conqueror~~ to flee, whereupon he was chased and eventually killed by Darim and Qulan. Later, as the two Mongols bid farewell to Altaïr and his family before their departure, Qulan remarked that their assassination of Genghis Khan had made him consider that Assassins work better in groups. To this, Altaïr suggested that Qulan take an [[Assassin apprentice\|apprentice]] and the latter agreed, deciding to take the young Nergüi under his wing.<ref name="~~ACR~~" />		Escaping the Khan's camp together, Nergüi, Qulan, and Altaïr joined the latter's wife [[Maria Thorpe\|Maria]] and son [[Darim Ibn-La'Ahad\|Darim]] on the hills above the camp, where they devised a plan to assassinate Genghis Khan.

	Several years later, Genghis Khan had been succeeded by his third son [[Ögedei Khan\|Ögedei]]. During this time, Qulan trained Nergüi so that he could be formally inducted into the Brotherhood. Before this could happen however, Qulan instructed his apprentice to travel to [[Samarkand]]. Ögedei had sent an entire {{Wiki\|Tumen (unit)\|tumen}} to reinforce the city, and Nergüi was to assassinate their captain without being detected by the large force.<ref name="Captain">''Assassin's Creed: Memories'' – [[Ilkhanate Captain (memory)]]</ref>		Several years later, Genghis Khan had been succeeded by his third son [[Ögedei Khan\|Ögedei]].

	In 1241, Qulan told Nergüi of [[Batu Khan]], the founder of the {{Wiki\|Golden Horde}} who was tearing through [[Russia]]. In order to slow his advance, Nergüi was tasked with assassinating Ögedei Khan, while Qulan assassinated the Khan's brother [[Chagatai Khan\|Chagatai]]. With no ready successor to the throne, Batu would be forced to return to Mongolia.

			In 1263, Nergüi went after the Russian prince [[Alexander Nevsky]], a liaison to [[Hülegü Khan]] and a suspected [[Templars\|Templar]]. After Nergüi confronted Nevsky, the two discussed the Mongol Empire. Nevsky justified his alliance with them by claiming that it was the only way to protect {{Wiki\|Kievan Rus'}}. Nergüi accused him of being a collaborator and told him how the Assassins had played the Mongols against each other in the {{Wiki\|Toluid Civil War}} and the {{Wiki\|Berke–Hulagu war\|Berke–Hülegü war}}. After Nevsky realized Nergüi's intent to kill him, the two fought, and Nergüi emerged victorious. The two then discussed their reasons for wanting the Khans eliminated. Nergüi recounted his father's death, and Nevsky said that he had poisoned Batu out of vengeance for the poisoning of his own [[Yaroslav II of Vladimir\|father]]. As Nevsky died, Nergüi expressed admiration for the prince's convictions and gave him his last rites.<ref name="Alexander Nevsky"/>
